The Fall

 


I took these photos on Saturday, today is Monday, 2 weeks since The Fall.
Above is front of right leg,
below is back of right leg, could not manage the bottom back, but it matches the front
Don't fret, I am better and cleared to walk the dog and do all my excercises in pool and out of pool.
Color me thankful, there is nothing broken. 
I have walked 3 times with Beau and everything is working fine


the bruises all  appeared on the 10th day, I went back to the doctor.
she said a blood vessel broke inside the knee and this is all the blood draining south and with exercise will go away.


Above is ankle of left leg, below is knee of left leg


this is after two weeks, I spared you the blood gore, if this were TV I would have shown it to you.
You can see the below arm, so use your imagination. 
During the 'shooting' of these photos I learned something new,
coming soon to a blog near you
To be continued
PS.. all knee swelling is gone today, the walking helped. 

WARNING! do not walk on ceramic tile with damp feet...

Oh my gosh, the swelling!! That would bother me more than the bruising. I am so glad you keep doing better, and did not break anything! I always wear socks with those sticky pads on the bottom around the house, and it scares me to go barefoot, because I have bad balance and it is so easy to slip.

I'm so glad you are healing! And thanks for the warning.

hugs to you we hope it makes a lot of healing progress... we have only one room with ceramic tiles ... and this is the room what holds the record in our house for the most failed double rittbergers and saltos...

Ann said...

Oh wow, I don't know which looks more painful, the swelling or the bruising. Glad you're ok now.

Rose said...

Inam singled you cam resume your routine. And glad the swelling went down when you started being able to move around.

My Mind's Eye said...

Good Grief MS if you didn't live in flat Florida I'd be 100% positive you fell off a mountain. What an ordeal. Thank goodness the bad cuts have healed and you are back to being you in your routine
Hugs cecilia

Martha said...

Glad you are doing better and healing well but it sure does looks painful!

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

My goodness...you are bruised from head to toe! We sure bruise easier and it lasts longer too. I'm glad nothing is broken and you can still get around. Take it easy! Hugs!

Anni said...

That is gross and sooooo painful looking. That was more than a tumble to the floor...looking for a silver lining, glad no broken bones AND that your fall left no head injuries. Wow, Sandra!!!

Mevely317 said...

WOW ... just looking at these make me hurt on your behalf! I'm a little surprised you were able to sleep comfortably. (Remembering my own mystery stain, at least that didn't hurt.) We've got slate stepping stones out front that, if I'm not careful, can mimic an ice-skating rink. I wonder if there's not some inconspicuous-looking adhesive strips y'all could put down near the shower? Cringing at the thought it might happen again to you -- or Bob.

Sandra - oh my gosh that looks terrible. I had no idea it was that bad. I am so sorry.

photowannabe said...

Yikes !!!
I knew it was bad but Good Golly that's terrible.
I'm so glad you have been cleared to walk and go back to the pool.
Ouchie, Ouchie...
Please be careful !!!

DawnTreader said...

The Adventures of the LLB Gang said...

jp@A Green Ridge said...

Yep...exercise helps everything heal! Nice work, Kiddo!!...:)jp

Ruth Hiebert said...

With all those bruises, its a miracle you didn’t break anything.

eileeninmd said...

Wow, those bruises and swelling did look awful. I am glad you did not break any bones, it hurt looking at your leg. I am glad you are recovering, take care!

Grandma C said...

Ouch, my imagination pictured you on the floor like a rag doll with its legs up around its head. Wishing you a quick recovery!!
